He shared a great prospective and insight into our Islamic belief system, even sighting the Holy Quran. Around the 32nd minute of the speech he even touched base on the conspiracy theories and the Sunni / Shia conflict; emphasizing that each of us should work hard against it to end the killing and create unity.

In his speech, President Obama quoted several letters that he received and read from Muslims in America. We all know it takes a lot of courage for any President to stand with Muslims in such a politically tensed situation and media attention.

We appreciate each of you for being an active member of our community; working hand in hand, we can create a better future for Islam and Muslims in America.

Please forward this message to your family and friends to also send messages to President Obama.
